Air India Express flight carrying two Andhra Ministers to Bhogapuram diverted to Nagpur in bad weather
The Air India Express flight from Vijayawada circled near the airport before landing in Nagpur more than two hours late on the night the deep depression approached the coast
Two women died in Anakapalli district on Thursday after being electrocuted, as a result of the torrential rain that left Visakhapatnam's roads waterlogged. The deep depression that crossed the coast near Kalingapatnam on Wednesday night brought about heavy rainfall, with over 150 mm recorded in some areas. The Nagavali and Vamsadhara rivers swelled in Srikakulam, prompting officials to issue flood warnings.
Drainage systems overflowed and canals spilled over, causing water to gather in various localities. Fallen trees blocked roads and landslides sent rocks onto Beach Road. The district administration mobilized resources, including the GVMC, SDRF, police, fire services and power distribution company, to assist with rescue and relief efforts.
